I am very pleased and honored to share this special morning with you and I congratulate you on your graduation day. I am honored to accept this award on behalf of all my former students at SUNY Oswego who have partnered with me in the lab and in the classroom. It speaks volumes about the caliber of my students and their accomplishments. It is also a special morning for me because people from this college and city will always be first in my heart.
